120 Days of Christmas: An Irreverent Holiday Almanac (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993035413)

It started with a simple observation: February is a dark, miserable, soul-crushing month, and January isn't much better.

But what if the spirit of Christmas didn't come to a bumpy halt around December 27? What if, through the magic of Christmas itself, it lasted nearly the whole of winter?

Enter 120 Days of Christmas, an irreverent almanac of 120 lavishly imagined, sometimes ridiculous holidays designed to keep the season alive from November 1 through February 28. Inside you'll find daily entries packed with history, activities, movie suggestions, and more. From Bonfire Night (a neighborhood version of Burning Man but with more food-on-a-stick) to Parlor Parkour (combining parlor games with feats of strength), every day provides an occasion for mischief and merriment.

Equal parts Advent calendar and holiday survival guide, this book is for Christmas fanatics who want to transform winter's long, gray slog into a parade of gift exchanges, elaborately themed feasts, and glitter-soaked adventures. Of course, there's a price to pay. Your health will be compromised, you'll exhaust your life savings on scented pinecones, and you'll alienate your loved ones with excessive, relentless cheer. But you'll also survive February.
